DESCRIPTION:Counter-narratives to Regional Cooperation: Contesting European
union\n\nKÃ¤te Hamburger Kolleg/Centre for Global Cooperation Research\n13
-14 May 2019\n\nCall for Papers\n\nOrganisers: Professor Wolfram Kaiser (U
niversity of Portsmouth) and Dr Richard McMahon (University College London
) in cooperation with the KÃ¤te Hamburger Kolleg/Centre for Global Cooperat
ion Research (University of Duisburg-Essen)\n\nAt a time when transnationa
l and international cooperation increasingly faces aggressive criticism an
d outright opposition\, this conference will explore the particular case o
f counter-narratives to European integration. From Brazil to the Philippin
es and the US to Hungary\, political polarisation and international tensio
ns are growing. Intellectuals and organised social and political groups ar
e using âcommunitarianâ narratives to produce a churn of new or reinvigora
ted and refined anti-cosmopolitan narratives. Whether motivated ideologica
lly by right-wing ethnocentric nationalism or left-wing rejection of econo
mic globalisation\, they seek a partisan advantage in domestic and transna
tional politics\, and try to reshape international relations in a more int
ergovernmental and autarkic manner. Democratically elected political leade
rs have strongly promoted and sought to legitimise such narratives\, from
US President Donald Trumpâs nationalistic rhetoric and rejection of intern
ational treaties to Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orbanâs advocacy of âi
lliberal democracyâ as a challenge to the European Unionâs normative order
.\n\nAs the worldâs most intensive experiment in regional integration\, Eu
ropean union (as something that can be more than and different from the Eu
ropean Union as an organization) is a lightning rod and key test for the r
ising opponents of regional cooperation and globalism. Multiple referendum
defeats for European integration\, from the 1992 Danish rejection of the
Maastricht Treaty to the 2016 Brexit vote\, reflect the demise of the publ
icâs earlier âpermissive consensusâ about integration. The economic crisis
since 2008 and the refugee crisis of 2015 have dramatically ramped up pol
itical contestation of European union. Populist groups and political parti
es no longer just criticise particular aspects of European union\, such as
monetary union\, but often challenge the desirability of any organised fo
rm of cooperation. Brexit represents the triumph of this project in the UK
.\n\nThe conference will focus on the narratives\, their historical lineag
e since 1945\, cultural conditionality\, semantic forms and political obje
ctives\, but equally on the individual and collective actors behind them.
We are interested in narrative entrepreneurs and counter-narratives to Eur
opean union within Europe\, whether nationally or transnationally drafted\
, developed and organised and whether they reject the EU as it stands\, or
any form of regional organisation in Europe. However\, we are also intere
sted in counter-narratives to European union from outside the EU\, whether
from neighbours such as President Putin and his Russian âtrollsâ or from
non-Europeans such as Trump.\n\nWe expect all papers to be based on origin
al research. Moreover\, all papers need to address\, in a structured manne
r\, both the actors who produce narratives and the narratives themselves\,
both to strengthen comparative perspectives and to facilitate a possible
later collective publication in the form of an edited book or special issu
e.\n\nInterested researchers should submit their paper proposal in one Wor
d document with two elements:\nâ¢ an abstract of your paper of no more than
300 words with information on its focus\, key arguments and research ba
sis\nâ¢ a short biographical abstract with information on you\, your instit
utional affiliation and relevant ongoing research projects and/or publicat
ions. \n\nPlease submit proposals to both organisers\, Wolfram Kaiser (Wol
fram.Kaiser@online.de) and Richard McMahon (rychumac@yahoo.com) no later t
han 5 January 2019. The successful applicants will be notified no later th
an 20 January 2019.\n\nWe can ordinarily cover travel costs up to a maximu
m of 300 Euros and accommodation in Duisburg for one night (13-14 May 2019
) as well as subsistence during the conference.
